Can’t find it

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

You say there’s a place for everything

And everything has its place

But the trouble with that for me you see

Is I don’t know where that is.

---

I know it goes here or hereabouts

And this goes over there

But I still don’t know the exact right place

Though I really try to care.

---

My wife does cares, cares very much

She’s driven mad by me

Everything I ever touch

Goes where it shouldn’t be.

---

It could be a man and woman thing

Or perhaps a missing gene?

I’ve looked for that gene all over the place

But it’s nowhere to be seen.
